Summary
V Hack 2023 is a hackathon formed by CS Society USM which consists of preliminary round and final round. It was held from 11 March until 2 April 2023.
Background
Varsity Hackathon, is a year-old flagship program, initiated in the early months of 2022. With V Hack 2022 achieving great success, V Hack is definitely one of the largest student-led international hackathons for local and international undergraduates to compete by formulating ground-breaking solutions for various issues with the power of technology. V Hack aims to break the norms and expose undergraduate students to the wonders of hackathons. V Hack is also the place for them to enhance their technical skills, develop outstanding ideas alongside expanding their network with likeminded people. This year, Varsity Hackathon has made a comeback with more interesting challenges and grand prizes that intend to achieve greater milestones and achievements. V Hack 2023 will be brought to life in hybrid mode where participants will complete their preliminary round online and participate physically for the final round of the hackathon.
